internal upgrades

i asked this in another forum, but i guess here is a better place to ask. i have about $800 or so to spend upgrading internals, and i want to know what i can get for that much, and what will add the most acceleration. i plan on doing nothing but internals until the Dezod kit comes out, or SF gets their **** straight.. so no turbo paryts or anything. thanks for the help.. anything you suggest, if you have links to it, please post.

u are gonna need more than $800

i guess u might be able to get pistons and have money left over to have them installed, but that is about it.

Drk01Civic is an unknown quantity at this point
Internals that will help performance until you finally turbo charge your car? I think you're out of luck buddy. Lower compression pistons will hurt NA performance. Rods won't really do anything by themselves. This isn't really my area of expertise yet, but I guess maybe valvetrain work or a port and polish. With only $800, you should just use that as the start for your turbo fund.
